[aprssig] D7 digipeating success!

[gerheim at cox.net]

See attachment.  The "D7 DIGIPEAT" was appended within the calculator program, so it actually went from K1QN-3, in the basement at one frequency, to K1QN-2 upstairs (a D7) , and from there to the APRS net on another frequency.  It was the only way I could insure the packets weren't going directly from K1QN-3 to the net.  

There are still some bugs to iron out.  The most pernicious one has to do with the cable.  When the batteries get low and/or if there's too much RF, the serial port may transfer commands OK, but foul up when an incoming packet arrives.  Can't quite diagnose or cure this one yet.  Very hard to reset once the cable goes down the drain.  

It woiks!
